Always someone promotes political violence. I am against killing nazis unless it is WW2.

Linked In post from Mike Matsel, Principle Development Lead, XBox Graphics: "The XBox Graphics team is hiring folks with experience with device drivers, GPU performance, or related validation or engineering system experience. If the positions are closed and you want to apply, please message me!" And below it is an "AI" slop that reads in white on green "XBOX GRAPHICS IS HIRING" and an image of a woman in a green sweater wearing earpods typing on a computer, except the "AI" has put the screen on the back of the monitor.

The fucking head of fucking XBox Graphics used a fucking "AI" slop image to hire new engineers but couldn't tell that the fucking screen on the fucking monitor is facing backwards.

Diabolical

If we could put brains in vats it would be more likely that you are a brain in a vat. As it stands, it is not very likely. Boltzman brain? Maybe.

There's Klingons on the starboard bow, scape 'em off Jim!

David R. Hagen just solved a small mystery that I mentioned 13 years ago in the mouseover text of a comic drhagen.com/blog/the-mis...

I wonder what the acquisition of Codership by #MariaDB means for XtraDB cluster? Will Percona keep improving and supporting Galera on #MySQL? I think this is a really crappy move by MariaDB to stifle competition.

It is a deeply personal album from Shatner; I listen to it now and then, always enjoying.

Interesting, Mark. Great post as always.

My current cat is the second best cat ever. He has a few flaws but I love him so much.

Impressive

Was he allowed to fly on it after he left office?

You spelled his name wrong. Was that intentional?

Actually almost every war is about money, land, or the power associated with those things. Religion sometimes intersects those things but religious wars are rare.

Todays politics are so polarized that it basically boils down to the same thing.

I love everything about the Matrix. It is a great movie, the pacing is good, the concept is unique and the ending is fantastic. Every time I eat a steak I think of Cypher.

It is a 123GB download so I expect not.

The Oblivion remaster is 73% downloaded. I can't play until after work anyway. Still looking forward to some nostalgic adventures.

We can serve garlic bread as communion and live in ecumenical peace. I don't see the downsides.

VGHF's video game trade magazine scanning is unearthing some gems, like this 2000-era double-page ad for the never-shipped Half-Life for Dreamcast. (And looks like the publisher registered gameoftheyear dot com specifically for Half-Life? Bold!)

Those are holy relics that belong in a museum

Funny how caffeine addiction doesn't require rehab 🤔

I am but a humble cable news host with a bachelor’s in philosophy, but I feel like at some point the bond market is also going to notice that the GOP is going to pass a deficit financed 5 trillion dollar tax cut. Maybe?

I use AI to help with basic things like learning a new programming language or how to do basic Linux tasks in ubuntu when I am more familiar with Fedora.

Not that that will probably happen in my lifetime, but a man can dream.

I work for the money. I am looking forward to a post scarcity future where I am free to do whatever I want.

That means they can disobey an unlawful order, but no unlawful orders have been given.

The election wasn't rigged. Trump got more votes. I blame the fifty percent of America that didn't vote. They left it up to 26% of the country.

It is not the military's job to uphold and defend the constitution. The military can not act on US soil (Posse Comitatus Act)

He is immune from prosecution as President. He gets to manipulate all he wants to.
